ECS was founded in 1979 as a supplier of contacts for the electronic connector industry. With its innovative design capabilities, the company expanded into the connector industry itself, while developing a "can do" attitude that enabled ECS to design and produce many components that other connector manufacturers considered impossible to manufacture. As the company continues to prosper, its products have been introduced into the telecommunications industry, military, and medical applications, and it is constantly expanding to meet the needs of a diverse customer base.
